here is a tip skeeter, while you're able to arm yourself while calling obama a gun-grabbing tyrant is proof that he is not. by opposing background checks at gun shows, the nra guarantees that guns can be legally bought through the gun show loophole by felons or third parties who sell to felons. then those legal guns disappear, get sold a few more times. when the cops recover those weapons years later after a killing that wiped out a playground full of kids, police can say illegal guns. background checks would not have stopped anything. background checks only infringe on your second amendment rights if you're a felon, a terrorist or criminally insane. if you're all three you probably already work as an nra lobbyist. it's all about the money. west borough ignores the teachings of jesus and takes one line out of context to justified their evil. the nra ignores the second amendment well-regulated militia part to fulfill their greed. opposing gun safety is an insult to people. wayne lapierre is indifferent and makes more nra members think, maybe i'm okay. i would like to thank amy goodman,
